The placement of a foreign valve in the pulmonary position using the Ross procedure requires reoperation. To circumvent this problem, we devised a method of reimplanting the native aortic valve in the pulmonary position, and successfully performed this procedure in a 12-year-old diabetic boy operated on for the treatment of aortic insufficiency. Although diseased, the reimplanted aortic valve functioned well, with trivial stenosis and insufficiency. This modification offers patients with aortic valve disease a potentially curative operation.
